BAER Testing

Well, it has been an experience to get these puppies BAER hearing tested. First appointment was made when they were just a couple days old. Learned the day before the test that our canine neurologist's BAER machine was broken. Called around to see about other testers and decided (for many, many reasons) that I would stick with our original tester. So we went on Thursday to be tested only to have questions on whether this equipment was working properly or not. So, we are traveling to the University of Pennsylvania to do this on Tuesday. Same tester, just different location and this equipment works (or so I hope!).....

But, while we tried to test the puppies, we got some good pictures. In case you ever wondered what it looked like to have puppies BAER tested, here you go. Enjoy!

PS. This is not painful for the puppies. There was no crying of fussing when everything was set up. No anesthesia was used on the puppies, everyone was pretty cooperative.

Here is what puppies do after the testing while they wait for me to talk with the vet.
